Question 852187: how do I solve this?
A slope and an ordered pair are given. Plot the point, and draw a line with the given slope through the point.
1/2 and (3, −4)

Slope is change in y over change in x.
So for a slope of 1/2, for two units change in x, make one unit change in y.
(3,-4) + (2,1)=(5,-3)
(5,-3) + (2,1)=(7,-2)
(7,-2) + (2,1)=(9,-1)
(9,-1) + (2,1)=(11,0)
You can plot the points and draw the line that contains all the points.
